Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Are you getting in the mood for Christmas (before Halloween)?

28-10-2015 8:06pm#1What's with all this 'in yer face' Christmas paraphernalia in the shops (before Halloween)
This year the 'pre Halloween' Christmas theme thing seems to be more prevalent than in previous years . . .
In one shop today, the Christmas decorations have now taken priority over the Halloween decorations, which had been pushed into a side isle!
What's going on?
PS: I'd be fascinated to hear from somebody in retail . . .0

It's the shops wanting to sell as much stock as possible, who can blame them?
People buying Christmas beer, sweets, condoms etc. They'll buy them by the trolley load.
Fact - they will all be scoffed down before 1st November. Especially the condoms!
The tins of sweets are being raided nationwide as a I type! More will be bought next week, the week after, right up to Christmas week.
Then in January - Slimming World, Weight Watchers, and all the Chub Clubs will be packed out with wobbly dreamers, all the Christmas stuff being replaced with Slim Fast, Atkins, and Celery.
Same craic every year.

Bonkers.
Perfectly logical to my mind, I've already got presents sorted for a couple of people already, it takes the hassle out of it and it's less of a financial strain if I pick something up one week, something else a few weeks later. Besides, I love mince pies and as soon as they hit the shops I'm bouncing with joy!

Far too organised for my liking, crazy carry on altogether.
PS; Enjoy your mince pies

Try them heated with some Baileys, might be easier to tolerate.
Mince pies with Baileys Irish Cream, for a lactose intolerant person?
Yeah, that's gonna end well ! :P
Half my family is in America. So everything for them has to be bought, wrapped and shipped by mid November, to make sure it gets there in plenty of time. Doing your Xmas shopping in October is lovely and relaxed. I often pick up good stuff in the Oct Bank Holiday Weekend sales too.
When I am out shopping for the Yanks, I often see stuff for my Irish peeps too, without even trying. I am usually done with all my shopping it by late November. People are amazed by my organization, but its all so easy and stress free, there is really very little effort involved. I can then save December for enjoying the atmosphere and craic of town, without having any of the shopping stress. It's bleedin' deadly so it is ! 0 -
